Deliciously Easy Spanish Rice

There are many ways you can create rice recipes, especially with all the wonderful spices available to us. When creating recipes like these for my husband that are filled with bold flavors and are more on the spicy side, I like to do a smaller portion on the side for my girls with a less spices and flavors. 

You can also easily add chicken to this delicious rice recipe!

Ingredients needed for your Spanish Rice Recipe:

• 2 cups rice (I used parboiled long grain rice)
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 green pepper, diced
• 1/2 red pepper, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 small onion, diced
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce
• salt and pepper to taste

First you may want to rinse the rice a couple of times or even soak it for 10 minutes. Then drain all the water. 

In a medium size pan sauté onion, garlic, peppers and rice in 1 Tbsp of olive oil, until the onion and garlic are fragrant.

Next add the spices and Tabasco sauce. Stir enough to combine.

Then pour in broth. Lower heat, cover pan and allow rice to cook. Fluff rice right before serving. Top with sliced green onions.
